My dream job is to be one of the players on Saturday Night Live.

I've been taking more advanced drama classes in school which exposes me to various aspects of theater including writing, comedy, improv, and tech.

My advice to you if you want to get serious?

1. Outside lessons They don't need to be expensive. Just shop around and find a teacher that really clicks with you. Find someone who knows what they're doing and who you think can really help you tap your potential. Taking classes in school or getting informal help from a drama teacher or choir director

2. Agent These can be a bit more pricey. They get a cut of whatever gigs they help you get, so try to find someone credible and with a reasonable price. A good agent can help you find the best auditions.

3. Auditions Don't just rely on your agent. Go get them yourself! They're very daunting at first, but once you've been to a few, you get the hang of it. The trick to these is when introducing yourself, be really genuine. Even though you're an actor, they like to see a little bit of your true personality. Then, once you have your lines, dive right in. Sometimes it helps to dress the part for your audition (i.e. for the part of a poor person, dress a little more drab than usual and don't look as polished). But, don't overdo it! I've made the mistake of dressing too over the top for an audition. Don't do that. Try to dress in more neutral colors with maybe one bright or eye catching accessory. You want them to focus more on your face and acting ability than on your wardrobe.

4. Positive Attitude Trying to get into the entertainment business is hard. It's highly unlikely that you'll get called back to every single audition. That's why it's very important to maintain a positive attitude even in the face of rejection.
